"A Roman stalwart run by a well-known family group, this historic building—once frequented by luminaries like Picasso and Stravinsky—combines contemporary-refreshed rooms with an iconic peaceful courtyard bar and the romantic Jardin de Russie restaurant; the property remains a favorite of the jet set for its superb service, refined garden dining and recent collaborations, including a branded cocktail bar focusing on tequila-based drinks and tapas." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo

"From the moment the top-hatted doorman ushers you into the classic-modern space by former Valentino interiors whiz Tommaso Ziffer and Rocco Forte Hotels director of design Olga Polizzi, the sense of being in the foremost place to stay in town is as sharp as the Campari sodas served at the bar. The 120-room hotel just off Piazza del Popolo mixes Art Deco–tinged nods to Rome’s classical past with jazzy homages to Picasso and ballet legend Nijinsky, who stayed here in its previous incarnation. They’re commemorated in signature suites, as is Giuseppe Valadier, the architect behind the palazzo’s terraced garden. This is being restored for the hotel’s 20th anniversary—one of several refreshes that include a health-oriented lightening of the mod-Med menu. The kitchen is overseen by chef Fulvio Pierangelini, who also curates the food at the Stravinskij Bar, which fills with glamorous Romans come aperitivo time." - Maresa Manara
